Great info, Nancy! This was really helpful for me especially the bulleted points you made. I need to figure out what I'm going to do as far as reserved seating goes.

Thank you. Can you please explain the dining options a little further. How early can these reservations be made? etc. Thanks!

Not sure if Nancy's online, so I'll give a quick answer. She can elaborate later.

You can dine at either Ariel's Grotto or Wine Country Trattoria. These are in the $35-40 range for adults. Dining here will get you "preferred" viewing. These reservations are made through the regular Disneyland Dining number 714-781-DINE. They can be made up to 60 days in advance.

The picnic lunches are around $15. The rumor is that buying these will just get you a regular FastPass. They will only be available for purchase online or in person starting on Friday the 11th.

I'm online now.

I wouldn't buy the rumor thing just yet. This is the direct information - pasted from the official press release on the disneylandnews press and media site. Granted, the information on the ticket as indicated below, has all the same information that a FastPass does, but so will the ticket given to the dinner seating folks. It's just that paying the higher prices for dinner gives you direct front and center viewing. Picnics give the next bettter viewing choice from another official article I read.
